From the Director

Are you new to Williston Park?  Don’t forget to apply for a library card.  Just bring proof of residence in the village such as an updated driver’s license, credit card statement or any bill sent by the Village. Staff will be happy to help you.

If you’ve borrowed a museum pass, we ask that it be returned in the library by 10 a.m. on the due date to ensure timely pick up for the next patron on the waiting list.  If you wish to return the pass prior to the due date and the library is closed, please put in the book drop.  We appreciate your cooperation.

The library is distributing Covid-19 self-test kits while supplies last.
